So my alternator wire is pretty ragged.  I'm talking about the one that runs from the fuse to the alternator.  I would really like to replace it, or at least fix it up a bit, but I'm wondering if anyone knows if it is actual straight wire, or a fusible link.  I'm thinking it's straight wire as it has a fuse in line too.  My thought is to have a new run made up with new ends, and either cut out the old wire from the harness or simply route new alongside. 

 

Thoughts?  I'm thinking it's either 6 or 4 ga wire.  Anyone know?

 

 

Straight wire.

 

Hmm... the factory wire doesn't appear to be 4 gauge (per chart specs).  Looks like time for a bit of an upgrade.
